DEAL FOR TWO
Louisa looked around." Not here. This place is actually not safe for us to discuss this.We can find somewhere to sit and discuss this, later" Louisa said.Jakes nodded." You are right, I was supposed to leave for my country tonight, but I will wait behind, I can hold on with what I am going to do over there.When we finish with this, then I move.But first, give me your contact information so we can communicate later today, " Jakes said and took out his phone. He unlocked it, opened the keypad, and handed it over to Louisa.Louisa took the phone, dialled her number on it, and handed it back to himAlright, saved.Louisa felt her phone beep.She was about to check it until Jakes spoke." I just beeped your phone.I will call you later in the day so we can talk better and schedule a place and tiISSUE OF THE GOLDEN RULERThe whole place turned noisy again." That is the reason why I called for a meeting between the two families so we could all get to know each other and for you all to know what is going on.What do you want me to do, huh? " Grandma fired back.She was visibly furious.Louisa sat there quietly, looking at them. She knew the whole issue could easily be solved, but all tempers had risen, and there was no way to calm them now.She just sat quietly, observing all of them.Madam Rebecca hit her hand loudly on the table, drawing everyone's attention to herself. " This should no longer be an object of contention.What we need to think about now is the fact that one of our members is not here with us.Now Evelyn, now that everything's back to normal and in place, I suppose we should go and get Christine released, that poor girl has already grown lean in the prison.From all indications, she has learned her lesson and changed for the better.Reconsider your decision
GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWSThey all opened their mouths in shock as they heard that.The GOLDEN RULER was a long, flat, and flexible cane that had the shape of a ruler. I had a golden color and hence its name.The material it was made of was elastic .The kind of pain inflicted on the receiver was severe and sometimes led to injuries.I'm from the Anderson family, the golden RULER was severe punishment for the offender and whenever judgment is declared for the use of the golden ruler, the offender would usually beg for pardon and change in punishment. The golden ruler was not used on all offenders. It was only used on offenders who had committed grave aberrations and crimes.Grandma had intentionally said that to scare them away from accepting that.Five strokes from the GOLDEN ruler would render serious injuries on the body of Christine, and that was going to take days, if not weeks, to treat the afflictions Grandma smirked as she saw the look on their faces and how they looked at each o
A DATE FOR A PLANLouisa shook her head." I am sorry, but I can't make itYou will have to go without me I have a tight schedule tomorrow. I have some personal things to take care of, and besides, I will be leaving for my apartment very soon." Louisa said.Grandma looked at her in disbelief.She just kept to herself and smiled at Louisa." Okay, that's fine if you can not go with me. I will be okay, " Grandma said." Alright then, I'll excuse you.I will be in my room, " Louisa said and stood up.Grandma just nodded and looked at Louisa as she left for her own room.Grandma wondered what was going on that made Louisa suddenly turn cold towards her.She just decided to keep an eye on her and find out exactly what was happening with her." Her inner mind told her it was because she had tried linking her up with Jakes. Grandma noticed that ever since she talked to Louisa about getting her married to Jakes, Louisa had suddenly turned into a silent monster.She stood up after a while o
THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOODReuben and Annabelle got to their apartment, and the first thing Reuben did was to get his laptop and switch it on." He sat behind it and began operating it.Annabelle quickly changed herself and headed for the kitchenShe left Reuben alone and went to serve their lunch.After about twenty minutes, Annabelle went back inside.Reuben was sitting behind his laptop and smiling to himself." What is happening here?" She asked.Reuben looked at her with a smile." Some really good news here," Reuben replied." Mind sharing with me?"." Do you remember the hotel where we went to spend our honeymoon?" Reuben asked.Annabelle nodded in the affirmative." It's, honeymoon hotel or something of that sort," Annabelle replied, quite unsure about her answer." Exactly, they have sold eighty percent of their company shares.And I bought them all, that means we are officially the owners of the hotel now." Reuben said happily.Annabelle opened her mouth in disbelief.Her eyes
YOU DON'T SEEM GOOD“ I smell something cooking from the terrorist group.And i can bet that wherever they put their money, the Huyaqis will go and make sure it goes down too.I actually think the anderson family will be involved too” Grandpa said.Reuben smirked.“ That will be some really bad news from them. Thank Goodness i prevented them from getting any shares in the hotel. that would have meant the hotel might have a problem, too.” Reuben replied.Grandpa nodded.“Let see how it goes. From what you said earlier, it means we would have to go through the meeting pretty fast so you guys can go get and start your company tour rigght?” Grandpa asked.Reuben nodded in the affirmative.“ That is alright then.Congratulations on securing your big deal” Grandpa said with a smile as he laid back on the couch, resuming the position he was in before Reuben walked in.“ Alright, Grandpa, I will take my leave now,” Reube
A GOOD PAYBACKJakes looked at her." I am good, just a little bit of a hitch there, but I am good," Jakes replied." I don't think you really are. Mind talking to me about it?" Louisa enquired." Well, I made some Edelstein with the owners of this hotel.Hlthey were selling eighty percent of the shares, and I made to buy a fifty percent of that.Some other investors came in.Just this evening, I got news that the owners have sold all the shares to the Brooks family, Reuben led them, and he has bought it.I quite pussed off right now, but I am good, I will pull through, " Jakes replied ." So this is all about Reuben. Is it this very hotel?" Louisa asked.Jakes nodded." Don't worry, we will overcome this too. This whole meeting is about Reuben. Since he has decided to step on your toes, we will step on hers too, " Louisa said, and Jakes nodded with a smile.At that moment, the door was unlocked, and two waitresses came in, wheeling some foods and drinks on a trolley.The two stopped
YOU ARE BEING FOLLOWED“ But then, there is something we will still need to consider here. How are we going to get the exact time to execute our plans?You know we might not know when they will be out alone for us to get them.Do you have any idea?” Jakes asked.Louisa smirked.“ Don't worry about that, we will just need a few resources to make sure everything is alright. We will just have some boys around to give us any information around, as to when a car leaves the place and who is driving, then we will know what is going on.I am sure this would not take more than two days. We can get this done, '' Louisa replied.Jakes looked at her. She seemed so sure of herself with her words.“ I have a lot of boys around the city, and I will have them do that.I will also need a van for the work, and I will work on that, too.However, everything should be done by the end of the week so I can leave. I need to get out of here very s
THE NEWS" How sure are you?" Louisa replied." Eighty percent sure that you are being followed.Your grandmother will never call to ask about you, " Jakes replied." Come off it, Jakes.She intentionally tried to like us up this morning.She used the business aspect as an excuse, but judging from her thoughts, she wants us to have something going on between that.That is the reason she would be calling you and talking about me.I know her intentions, too. Don't worry about all of this.Besides, if someone follows me here, nobody k ow you are here except me.They all know you and your dad have gone back home. That is it.Even if someone is following me, the only feedback they can give is that I went to a hotel. And to my grandmother, that is no big deal because I can take care of myself.Don't worry about all of this please, let's focus on what we are saying now, " Lpuisa explained.Jakes seemed quite convinced about the explanation, but not totally.He still had his doubts about all
